Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) has marked a significant milestone in its University Park development with the official opening of The Grove, a comprehensive amenity center designed to enhance the Palm Desert lifestyle for residents. The event, which took place in early fall, brought together homeowners and prospective buyers from WPG’s three University Park neighborhoods: Nova, Verve, and Esprit.
The Grove offers an array of leisure facilities exclusively for University Park residents and their guests. These include a resort pool, lap pool, kiddie pool, and spa, catering to various aquatic preferences. Additionally, the center features a shaded playground, pickleball court, stage area, lawn spaces for events and games, a firepit, and a BBQ area. Nearby parks complement The Grove with dog-friendly areas and additional recreational facilities.
Nova homeowner Rose Arguin shared her positive experience of the grand opening celebration, highlighting the community engagement and the popularity of the new amenities. She noted the clubhouse’s beauty and the extended hours of the fitness center, which now opens at 6 a.m. to accommodate residents’ pre-work exercise routines.
Beyond The Grove, University Park’s location offers residents walkable access to the arts, culture, dining, and lifestyle amenities that make Palm Desert a desirable destination. This combination of on-site facilities and nearby attractions enhances the overall living experience for residents.
WPG President Todd Cunningham emphasized the current favorable buying conditions, mentioning generous incentives on selected homes and interest rate buy-downs for qualified buyers. The company’s home designs cater to a range of preferences, from permanent residences to winter homes with lock-and-leave convenience.
The University Park development features three distinct neighborhoods: Nova, Verve, and Esprit. Nova offers homes priced from the $700,000s, ranging from 2,328 to 2,751 square feet with 4 to 5 bedrooms. Verve’s final available homes start in the low $700,000s, featuring two-story plans with 3 to 5 bedrooms. Esprit, priced from the $800,000s, includes a single-story option among its four plans, with sizes ranging from 1,992 to 2,925 square feet.
Architecturally, the homes showcase Modern Spanish, Boutique, and Contemporary styles, with interior designs featuring open floor plans, private side courts, and well-appointed kitchens and primary suites. Some layouts offer flexible options such as downstairs bedrooms, casitas, or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
University Park’s location near the 10 Freeway provides convenient access to major area employers, including Eisenhower Medical Center. The community is served by quality schools within the Desert Sands Unified School District and Palm Springs Unified. Residents also benefit from proximity to retail, dining, hiking trails, and attractions like the El Paseo Shopping District and the new Acrisure Arena.
To assist potential buyers, WPG has partnered with US Bank to offer expert financing assistance, including rate lock-downs and special incentives. The company’s 10 model homes are open daily for tours, allowing interested parties to experience firsthand the quality and design that have earned WPG multiple awards in the homebuilding industry.
As Palm Desert continues to attract new residents seeking a blend of desert lifestyle and modern amenities, The Grove at University Park stands as a testament to WPG’s commitment to creating comprehensive, lifestyle-oriented communities. The opening of this amenity center not only enhances the daily lives of current residents but also serves as a compelling draw for future homebuyers looking to invest in the Palm Desert area.
